JOSEPH ABBATI

Joseph Abbati is an artist from San Francisco. His artwork is figurative and looks at the human condition through a queer lens. His work is about giving visibility to the queer community. The paintings reveal queer identity and beauty.

In life, and in social media in particular, queer men often need to censor themselves to fit into heteronormative norms. This self-censorship may bring shame to queer men when they cannot express who they are. The paintings celebrate the expression of their sexual and gender identities. When queer people have the opportunity to share their lives it allows them to live without shame and think positively about themselves.

Joseph’s work has been showcased at “The de Young Open.” In 2024, his art is featured at the Firehouse Arts Center in Pleasanton, CA, Benicia Arts Center in Benicia, CA, ACCI Gallery in Berkeley, CA, and 2358 MRKT Gallery in San Francisco, CA. His exhibitions have also been held at Schlomer Haus Gallery, SFWA Gallery, Radian Gallery, Soft Times Gallery, Moth Belly Gallery, and 2358 MRKT Gallery.

Since 2017, Joseph has curated exhibitions for the office of Senator Scott Wiener, producing several shows annually that feature San Francisco Bay Area artists. These exhibitions address themes such as housing, nightlife, LGBTQ Pride, global climate, and representation of Asian, Trans, Black, Indigenous, and Latinx artists.

JACOB CRUZ 

“I’m a Queer artist living in Los Angeles. I specialize in the male human form. Love the human body and the challenges it brings every time I start a new subject. I enjoy the natural sensual energy it brings . I love drawing men in their most vulnerable and sexual state.” – Jacob Cruz
